Hill International recently announced that it has received two contracts from local utilities in Romania to provide project management services. The two four-and-a-half year contracts have a combined estimated value of approximately $6.2 million.

The first contract was awarded by SC ECOAQUA SA Calarasi for $102 million and involves improvements to the water supply and sewerage infrastructure within five cities located in Calarasi County as well as one city in Lalomita County. The program consists of 11 separate projects that will involve the rehabilitation and extension of the water supply networks, sewerage networks, drinking water treatment plants, and wastewater treatment plants.

The second contract was awarded by SC AQUASERV SA Tulcea for a $147 million water infrastructure improvement program in four cities located in Tulcea County. The program entails rehabilitation and extension of the water supply networks, sewerage networks, drinking water treatment plants, and wastewater treatment plants.

Both projects are expected to be completed by September 2013.

"These much-needed improvement projects will have a positive impact on the growing population of Romania and its economy," said Raouf S. Ghali, president of Hill's Project Management Group (International). "We look forward to the challenge of such an important initiative," Ghali added.
